25.01.2022 A little bit smokey but loving a bit of moisture, thinking of all the fire victims and extremely proud of the Australian generosity...

22.01.2022 Meet Spot. Dalrose Farm's newest family member. #bordercollie #farmlife #cattlepuppy #chewingshoesalready #soooooocute

22.01.2022 A local journalist couldn’t resist Mick’s charm and good looks while driving past today! She’s only human after all #modelfarmer #farmlife #supportlocal

18.01.2022 If you are able, please support our family, friends, communities and fellow farmers who are up against it.

18.01.2022 Moving the cows to a not so wet area after 80+mm of rain...

17.01.2022 On this last day of the year we are sending all our love to our family and friends, and everyone who has been impacted by the bushfires. Our hearts are breaking for those who have lost their homes, businesses and properties. We are so grateful to all who are fighting for our safety, and to those who support the brave people at the fire front. Thanks to everyone for your lovely messages to check in on us, we are very safe and are more grateful for that than we have ever been.... Lots of love from us to you for the new year. Xxxxx

16.01.2022 This is absolutely devastating news. Thinking all the LOCAL producers who are suffering tonight, and the community and Melbourne Farmers Market who support us all.

15.01.2022 A few weeks ago we were in the Herald Sun. A small article that had a big impact on us. It led one person to post on our local ‘out and about’ Facebook page, giving us a to our business. That message then turned into more congratulations and supportive messages from people we know, and also from people we don’t. Geez that felt good. And it got us thinking about how bloody nice it is to receive unsolicited feedback and support, with no expectation of anything in return. So... from now on, we will be using our Facebook page for doing the same thing. Let’s be honest, we’re not exactly social media and marketing savvy, so we might as well put the technology to good use! Our DFI (Dalrose Farm Influencer) will probably have NFI (google that if you don’t know what it means ) of how important they are to us and our business. And it’s time they knew. Stay tuned!

15.01.2022 See ya Saturday Carlton!

10.01.2022 Don’t forget next Sunday is Mother’s Day #gthotel #bairnsdale #mothersday #countrypub #bestfood

06.01.2022 Check this legend out. This is Eric. Eric sells the most amazing avocados, oranges, pistachios.... the list goes on, at his Go Just Nuts stall. Eric was one of the first stall holders to greet us at Gasworks Farmers Market a few years ago and we’ve been mates ever since. ... This guy makes our day for a few reasons: 1. His orange icy poles and juice are the best on a hot day 2. He lets our girls help out at his stall (he’s heaps more fun than dad) and has more patience than we do 3. You can’t help but smile when you see him, particularly when he’s got one of his wigs on - he’s a very funny bloke. Eric is our latest Dalrose Farm Influencer. He lifts our spirits, has always supported us both as farmers and as a family, and is a huge reason we love coming to Gasworks. Do yourself a favour and buy something from Go Just Nuts. Check out their FB or Insta page - they’re sure to be at a farmer’s market near you soon. You’re guaranteed to walk away with a gorgeous product and a smile. Thanks Eric, you mean a lot to us. Catch ya next month.

06.01.2022 I know you’ll be sick of us this week, but this photo makes my heart sing . Next farmers’ market: Gasworks Albert Park, Sat 18th May. See ya there!

05.01.2022 In order to keep us all safe and to keep going as long as we are permitted, markets will look pretty different this weekend. We're making changes to how we oper...ate and asking you to make some too. We also needed to re-locate our market at Abbotsford Convent to our home at Melbourne Food Hub in Alphington. It's heart-breaking to suspend our wash station and discourage social contact but we're sure you understand these measures are to keep us all safe. Let’s tackle this together with kindness and consideration for everyone. Please read carefully.... Feeling sick? Or been in contact with someone who could have or has COVID-19? Do not attend our markets please. Hand hygiene Before attending a market, please wash your hands thoroughly at home. Upon arriving at market please sanitise your hands with the sanitiser provided by MFM at the gate. There will be hand washing stations set up around the markets and stallholders will be extra vigilant with hand washing too. Markets now cash free Markets are now cash free. All stallholders at markets will be able to accept credit and or debit cards. A square reader will be set up at the gate of the market for entry donations. There will be no ATM. Leave the team at home Please limit the amount of people you bring along with you to our markets. Wherever possible just 1 person per household only. No toilets on site Toilets will only be made available to the public in emergency situations (yes, a desperate child does count as an emergency - but we ask, where possible, to leave the kids at home). Please go to the toilet before leaving home. Market hours Please do not arrive at our markets earlier than the advertised opening times (8am Saturday / 9am Sunday). Stallholders need the time to set up and be ready to serve in a safe and unrushed manner. Our insurance does not cover you before the market opens. One in one out We will be limiting the amount of shoppers in the market at any one time. Expect to wait upon arrival and please adhere to social distancing guidelines standing 1.5 metres away from the person in front of you. Do not crowd - this will not make the line shorten any quicker! Limit your time at market Please limit your time spent at market to under an hour. If you see someone you'd like to catch up with, give them a wave and call them when you get home. Social distancing Please strictly adhere to social distancing. We will be marking up the ground at markets to indicate intervals of both 1.5 metres and 4m square blocks to help you keep a safe distance away from other shoppers. Touching produce Customers should no longer select or touch fresh produce. Stallholders will help you select produce. Please be patient upon arriving at a stall until a staff member indicates that they are ready to help you. Stallholders will be pre-bagging produce as much a possible to provide speedier checkout. Food safety All stallholders will adopt an increased vigilance with regard to food safety compliance. Ready to eat food Ready to eat items will be available for takeaway only. There will be no cooking of meals to eat at the markets. We will sadly not be encouraging the social environment of our brekkie/brunch so no tables and chairs for lingering. Stall positioning The markets will be laid out to ensure at least 1m between each stall. Regular market shoppers please note: stallholders may not be in their regular positions due to this. Samples and tastings Stallholders can no longer offer samples or tastings. Buskers, face painters, wash against waste station and community stalls All the above have been suspended until further notice. When you get home Wash your hands and produce before consumption. Don't come in a rush! These safety precautions are 100% going to result in a slower paced shopping experience. Please come with plenty of patience in tow. We're all on the same team. All of these changes will be supported and enforced by extra MFM staff and volunteers on market day and we are committed to making this work as best as possible as we think it really is make or break for farmers markets. We HAVE to prove that we can provide the public with a safe place to shop or we will be shut down. Many thanks to you all. Stay safe and well!

04.01.2022 This awesome event is on today! Local people supporting local business. Local people and business supporting our local school. A huge amount of work has gone into preparing for today, please come along to the Memorial Hall and enjoy a lazy Sunday in Maffra. Maffra Makers Market

02.01.2022 SOLD OUT!!!!! Weeellllll, we were all ready to go to The Old Cheese Factory in Melbourne for a market this weekend, but the Covid gods has other plans, so we now have a GREAT range of beef cuts available that we can deliver to you local people from Traralgon to Bairnsdale (contactless of course!). Deliveries will be made this weekend.... All pack orders from our website will be filled first - go to https://dalrosefarm.com.au to check out our packs, or email us at [email protected] if you fancy something else. Oh and I nearly forgot to tell you we also now have Dalrose Family PIES available @ $18 made by the famous Maffra Bakery. Stay safe everyone.

01.01.2022 Drum roll please.... Our first ever DFI (Dalrose Farm Influencers) are Braden and Christina Ranford from Ranford’s Family Butcher in Sale. We called them in December 2015 to see if they would be interested in working with us to achieve our farmer’s market dream. Since then, they have meticulously hung, cut and packaged over 75 of our cattle. Our calculations tell us that is over 2,000 steaks and at least 15,000 snags since Dalrose Farm began. ... They are the HARDEST WORKING couple we know. They spend 6 days a week (and not your standard 9-5 day either) working together - now that’s a seriously impressive achievement in itself. Braden cuts our steaks perfectly. Special orders are never a problem. Christina packages our mince and diced beef to the exact gram (check it out at the next market, it’s true). They support us and the community in so many ways. Check out their FB page and pop in next time you’re in Sale, you won’t be disappointed. Thanks guys. Without you, Dalrose Farm would still be a dream. Ranford's Family Butcher
